Summary

Ravi, Rikki, and Joe talk about the latest scandal to hit the United States Supreme Court: Associate Justice Clarence Thomas accepting lavish travel itineraries from a wealthy Republican donor (and friend) without including it on his public financial disclosures. Unethical? Or illegal? We try to get to the bottom of it. Then, just for the hell of it, the trio talk about the ACLU’s newest legal fight to allow an After School Satan Club to meet in an East Pennsylvania school district. Finally, the group caps off the episode with a discussion about toxic masculinity and why self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate has captured the attention of so many young men.
